BIOS Upgrade
When upgrading from a Windows installation, a BIOS upgrade is quite simple if you follow the IBM instructions, as described here.
For other operating systems there is an option to create a bootable floppy disk. This is described on the IBM site as well. Note that you still need some Windows, OS/2 or DOS-System to create the floppy disk. For Linux you can use DOSEMU for this.
The whole thing gets more complicated if you neither have Windows neither a floppy drive installed. This is what this page is intended to describe.
